re: Something Doesn't Feel Right

Ok. Since you persist.

My comment was...
"He's a mediocre passing quarterback and a very good running quarterback."

You replied...
"So to say he will never get better and always be a mediocre passing QB is low IQ."

I'll tell you what's low IQ. That's a total lack of reading comprehension. In fact, it's damned stupid.

Just go ahead and make up shite. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Because what is today can never change, can it?

Jeeze

I might have been willing 10 minutes ago to discuss it with you in reasonable, rational, and valid terms, but now I'm just logging off.

24-1.

I kinda felt that way during parts of the MS State game, but not anymore. I’m cautiously optimistic now.

He's playing better

I thought this board was safe from troll threads?

And one more thing, OP, I'm sorry for taking my frustration with a large group of folks out on you. I was too harsh. Roll Tide, all.

Maybe its just gas??

Sometime around 1944, somewhere in a crowded Tokyo bar, some Japanese fellow, having had one too many sake, in a low hushed voice, suggested that maybe, given that the imperial navy was getting its clocked cleaned ... just maybe, the emperor wasn’t really a God. I suspect he he caught a lot of grief for that.

I am not that guy.

But I will say that I too feel that something is amiss. And my theory is that the team lacks hunger. And I suspect this lack of hunger is a reflection of a deminished hunger within the man himself. And I think this is also reflected on the recruiting front.

Saban’s decision to stay at Bama and to maintain a program and put down roots was the result of his own personal evolution that, if you think about it, was certain to be accompanied by a certainty mellowing. And I think as he mellows, the team mellows.

Now this is not to say he is a pussycat. Just a less fearsome gorilla. And I’m not saying he become a laggard. He’s just a little more balanced as a person.

And I welcome the new Coach Saban. And I respect the personal growth that has apparently led to a more thoughtful less obsessive perspective. But the fact is, like a aging heavyweight champ, the decline is at first almost imperceptible, brief moments of mediocrity nestled snuggly between all the moments of greatness. And prehaps these little tell-tale signs are what we are picking up on.

This doesn’t mean the dynasty is over, or that there are no more championships to come. What it does mean is that nothing lasts forever.
